Screenplay Skin

Summary:

A work skin created for fics designed to emulate a screenplay. This is by someone who has no experience in screenwriting or coding...so take that as you will.

Notes:

BACKSTORY: SO I was alternating between playing the Spider-Man PS4 game and watching Teen Wolf (as one does) and I was like “What if spider-man was rebooted as a mediocre teen drama? That’s something I would die for tbh...” so I wrote an episode. And then I wrote a work skin. But because I never finish anything and will probably never post the screenplay fic I wrote it for, I figured I could post the skin just in case anyone who is capable of finishing things or actually knows how to write at all wants to use it.

Chapter 1 is an example (using an excerpt of the never-to-be finished fic, haha) and Chapter 2 is explaining how to use the skin. It’s meant for desktop, so it’s a little jank on mobile, but it’s still, like, readable on my phone. EDIT: Chapter 3 now contains the code for a text editor that might make formatting longer works a bit easier!

FADE IN

OSBORN PENTHOUSE - NIGHT

Dim green light through a large window. Beyond it, the city, occasionally lit up by a FLASH OF LIGHTNING.

The silhouette of HARRY OSBORN, 17, stands with his back to the camera. BRING UP the voice of a MAN, distorted as if through tinny speakers.

MAN (V.O.)

...got a caller on the line, from Queens, New York. You’re on with J. Jonah Jameson.

This is J. JONAH JAMESON: mid 50s, editor at the Daily Bugle, and, most recently, host of the Bugle’s brand new podcast, “Just the Facts”.

CALLER (V.O.)

I just want to say, I think you’re wrong about Spider-Man. The way I see it, the mask proves the guy’s not in it for himself.

CUT TO:

Harry’s hands, white-knuckled as they clench his MUG of tea.

CALLER (V.O.)

I mean, look at the guys up in the Baxter Building. If he’d show his face, Spidey could be livin’ it up, just like them.

TILT to Harry in profile, following his mug as he takes a sip from it. From this angle, we can see the bags under his eyes. He doesn’t just look tired. He looks unwell.

JAMESON (V.O.)

Listen to this, folks! This clown thinks that the Spider-Man wears the mask ‘cause he’s SELFLESS! Well, I hate to break the news to you, caller, but you’re wrong. WRONG! All that mask allows that no-good vigilante to do is run around willy-nilly without having to face the CONSEQUENCES of his ACTIONS! Just look at the debacle with the Shocker yesterday-

The podcast cuts off as Harry removes his earbuds. Now we can hear the muted sound of POURING RAIN. A moment, then a CRACK OF THUNDER.
